I have a large investment portfolio, and I plan to rely on Maryam for all my future deals because I trust her completely after having done my first loan with her. Working with Maryam was a seamless experience. She's super knowledgeable and always quick to respond, making communication a breeze. She didn't just guide me through the process; she took the time to explain everything so clearly, making sure I was comfortable each step of the way. Maryam really went the extra mile to find the best rate, turning what could've been a stressful situation into something smooth and manageable. I always felt she had my best interests at heart, and there's no doubt I'd work with her again!

I had the pleasure to work with Maryam, one of the Senior loan officers that works with Brave Mortgage . I cannot say enough great things about her! From our very first phone call, she set the tone for what turned out to be a smooth, fast, and stress-free experience. She handled every aspect of the process with professionalism and care, and I was amazed at how quickly everything came together. What really stood out was how communicative she was throughout the entire process. I always knew exactly where things stood. She made what can be an overwhelming process feel completely manageable and moved it along faster than I expected. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I had an excellent experience working with Maryam at Brave Mortgage. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. She took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, answered all my questions with patience, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. Maryam truly went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track and closed on time. Her attention to detail and dedication to her clients really stand out. I felt confident and well taken care of throughout the entire loan process. I highly recommend Maryam and the team at Brave Mortgage to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy loan officer. Thank you again for the outstanding service!

I had a really great experience working with Jason and Shar at Brave Mortgage when I was purchasing my FIRST home! Jason and Shar are so professional and friendly, and they really dedicated a lot of their time and effort in making this process seamless and stress-free. They walked me through every step, making sure I understood what I was signing, answered all of my questions. I highly recommend Brave Mortgage for all loan and home financing needs. Excellent customer service!!

Originally started with another lender. Manny Tousounis challenged himself to beat the rate, lower closing/loan costs, and get approval completed faster. I stopped the other application and SO GLAD I DID! Manny not only met the challenge but surpassed it. Very thorough, diligent, and extremely focused. I greatly appreciated his frequent communications, patience in answering my gazillion questions. Needless to say, I am VERY VERY HAPPY with how everything was handled. He was able to get the cash out refi through closing after a few other le nders declined my application. Need a loan? Quick close? Low rates/costs? Hard working person who puts you as priority #1 from start to finish? Contact Manny Tousounis at Brave Mortgage. He performed a miracle for me and Im confident he can do same for you! Thanks, Manny. You are AWESOME! --Karen Smith Des Moines, Washington

I have owned my house in Los Angeles for 30 years. I have dealt with countless lenders, loan officers, brokers, home improvement contractors, vendors, etc. I have been ripped off, gouged, scammed and lied to more times than I want to remember. I am accordingly naturally distrustful and skeptical when I begin a potential transaction with one of them. It was no different with Jason. At every step of the way, I was on my guard for some glitch, switch, “oh I didn’t mean that, I meant this …”. None of this happened with Jason. He delivered on every promise and assurance he gave me. He is a person of impeccable integrity and honesty. If you are contemplating working with him, don’t go anywhere else. Your search is over, and you can breathe a sigh of relief that the stress you justifiably anticipate in the loan process simply will not materialize. Not only did Jason fulfill all of his own company’s commitments to me, when the lender and escrow company gave indications of the usual shenanigans in the process, Jason intervened immediately and took it upon himself to resolve the issue in my favor. Jason is a rare gem in the L.A. homeowner landscape (jungle might be the more appropriate word). He will always have my undying gratitude

Exceptional Service - Above and Beyond! I cannot recommend Maryam Nouraei highly enough! From start to finish, she delivered on absolutely everything she promised - and incredibly, she closed my DSCR property refinance in just 11 business days. I honestly didn't think it was possible to move that quickly on an investment property refinance, but she made it happen. Her communication was outstanding throughout the entire process. She was always available to answer my questions, kept me updated at every step, and ensured there were no surprises. Her professionalism, market knowledge, and attention to detail were truly impressive. What really set Maryam apart was her ability to coordinate everything seamlessly - appraisals, paperwork, underwriting - all while maintaining the highest level of service. She turned what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth, efficient experience. If you're looking for a broker who doesn't just talk the talk but actually delivers results on an aggressive timeline, especially for investment properties, look no further. I'm thrilled with the outcome and grateful for Maryam's exceptional work!
